A country thrown into chaos, a militia to dislodge, and a colorful crew of mercenaries to hire.

The profile stays thin, one to three votes per criterion, so nothing is settled here. The trend that emerges places Jagged Alliance 3 in the upper middle on desert island and fun, ahead of a little over half of all games, the sign of a title that grabs you over the long haul. But controller feel and art direction fall back into the lower half, with roughly a quarter to a third of games ahead of them, and the soundtrack stays quiet. The tension is soft but real, on few votes: a game you would gladly take along and that devours the hours, without shining on immediate feel or style.

That fits a turn based tactical game, where the satisfaction comes from planning and managing your mercenaries, not from raw snap or flashy looks.

So, who is it for? For you if you love deep strategy, squads to nurture and long campaigns. Much less if you want immediate controller pleasure or a visual punch.
